Editor's note: the name of the incumbent candidate is italicized, while the candidate we're endorsing is in bold.

SENATE

Jim Risch (R)

Larry LaRocco (D)

Sadly, total heterosexual Larry Craig is retiring. His replacement will either be a man who believes "President Bush is one of our greatest presidents," or it won't.Esquire endorses: LaRocco

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Congressional District 1

Bill Sali (R)

Walt Minnick (D)

Bill Sali's 2006 election smacked of closet masochism in Idaho politics. (He's "an absolute idiot," in his state party leader's words.) This is a man, after all, who believes "there could be 40 barrels of oil" in each tree in Idaho. We're not kidding.Esquire endorses: Minnick
